When Ct. A. Pierce went to Bismarck
as Dakota's governor, he was universally
respected by the people of the great ter
ritory, and 1t was believed at the close
OF his administration, when 1T was an
nounced that hs would take charge of
the Dakota edition OF the Pioneer Press,
that he would not descend from the high
plain of reputable journalism to crafty
personal malice. That he has totally
disappointed his friends is evident. He
seems to have retroRraded to the posi-
ton OF mere lournalistic groveler who
delights not in extoiling the wopdrous
resources OF Dakota. but amuses himself
with gross personalities intended to re-
feot upon one who has superseded him
in Office. The administration of Church
is doubtless full of errors and mistakes,
but it certainly does not add any to the
once good opinion of Pierce to pose as a
"holier than thou" prophet who always
stands waiting for an opportunity to
fire off his ready-made chestnut, al told
you Msnaaeapolis Star NeaoS.
Now this is unfair and untruthful all
around. AS governor, G A. Pierce was
not in universal favor by large major

to his administration for sectional
reasons which must ever exist IN SO
large domain under one government,
AS editor OF the Dakota edition of the
ST. Paul Pioneer Press G.. A. Pierce has
won the confidence and esteem OF the
majority not especially friendly to him
at the Gloss of his gubernatorial career.
In the business to which he was edu-
Gated and trained he has satisfied the
expectations OF Dakota and instead OF
retrograd1ng has advanced to position
his iournslistio contemporaries might
profitabiy strive to reach. In his criti-
cisms OF his successor he has performed
the delicate duty with gentlemanly re-
gard for past and present conditions and
il what he has said has grated harshly
upon the democratic ear they must lay
it to their gubernatorial representative
as Bismarck who creates the cause. AS
an opponent of Governor Pierce in
many of his acts we feel justified in de.
Tending Editor Pierce in all he has thus
fer done.

A Burglar outu;t,es

Dubuque, la, Nov. 2--Yesterday the
little 9.year oil | daughter of Rev. f. "a.
Wellemeyer, the new pastor OF the
German M. E. church, was rocking
her baby sister to sleep while her father
and mother were ct church, when q
burglar entered the house and asked
her where her papa kept his money.
The innocent little girl kept on rocking
the baby and answered, nHe hes no
money, and II be had he would not give
1T to you on Sunday The burglar
then produced knife and threatened
to kill the baby it she did not tell him
where the money was. She persisted
she did not know. and sae burglar, after
searching the house throughout, left
without taking anything OF value.

They were upon the subject OF local OPP
tion and recsted that efforts at prohibi
tion usually resulted In creating more
vice and that it was believed the adop-
tion OF prohibition would be detrimental
to the best interests OF the city, and
ended:
That it is the sense OF the board Of
trade that policy in it's nature prohi-
bitory OF the sale OF Intoxicating liquor
ought not to be adopted in this cty or
county, but ON the contrary, their sale
shonld be permitted under such rules
and regulations as restrain and keep in
check those who are licensed to deal in
them. That this board is in favor of
high license, but not of prohibition, IN
this city and county unless 1t can be
made universal throughout the terri
tories and states.
The discussion which followed was
quite acrimonious, Messrs, Lowell,
Shattuck and Benton oontending that it
was not proper subject for discussion
by the board any more than members
religion. while others held that as il was
a question affecting the welfare and busi-
ness interests OF every member it should
considered by the board. A motion TO
lay the resolutions on the table was de-
fested, and they were adopted with few
negative votes Now member of this
board comes out with card to the peo-
pie stating that the resolutions should
not be considered the sentiment of the
board, as only one-half the members
were present. 1t is probable that the
efforS will be made to have called
messine of the board on the subject. The
temperance CONTEST is waxing very
warm.

An event of national Importance was
the announcement yesterday Of the de-
niai Of the supreme court of the United
States OF motion for writ OF error and
. new trial in the case OF the condemned
and sentenced Chicago anarchists, par
Elephants in the hsymarket massacre and
in tho conspiracy leading up to that
bloody tragedy. The motion for writ
Of error presented by the attorneys of
the condemned anarchists was overruled
by the unanimous finding OF the United
States supreme court, The opinion was
delivered BY Chief Justice Waite. It
was long and carefully prepared docu-
ment and the chief Justice consumed
thirty five minutes in reading 1T. The
court held, in brief: First, that the
first ten amendments in the constitution
are Limitations upon federal and upon
state action. Second, that the jury law
OF Illinois is, upon its fsoe, valid and
constitutional, and it is similar in its
provisions to the statute oil Utah, which
was sustained in this court in the case
OF Hopt vs. the territory OF Utah. Third,
that it does not appear on record that
the trial court should have declared
Juror Sanford incompetent. Fourth,
that the objection TO the admission OF
Johann Most's letter and cross-exsrnins-
ton OF Spies, which counsel for prison-
era msintained virtually compelled
them 10 testify against themselves were
not objected to in the trial court ard
that no foundation was laid for the exer.
else Of this courts jurisdiction, and fiith,
that she questions raised by General
Butler in the cases OF Spies and Fielden
npon the basis OF their foreign nationals
ty. were neither raised nor decidsd in
the state courts, and therefore cannot be
considered here. The writ Of erro,
prayed for was consequently dentsd

they have earned but executive clemen--
OF, and this is not expected IN shelr
behalf. The governor of Illinois is q
merciful man and is inclined to oppose
capital punishment, but in q case so ag-
gravated as this it is generally believed
that he will not interfere. Friday of next
week, the 11th inst.s is the date fixed
by the court for the execution of the
men who have detied the law OF the land
and have taken human life after the
manner of cowardly assassins. The ele-
ment to which they belong needs the
lesson OF retaliation-needs to be
brought to realize that stern Justice ex-

mands the execution of the sentence. In

A clisie in the affairs of the hospital
for the insane of south Dakota has been
reached and from this time on develop
ments will come rapidly to the relief OF
a long distressed people. Governor
Church has confirmed his original act OF
1surpation with an edlct Of summary
removal against the three members OF
the board of trustees who refused to re :
sign or yield to his partisan demands.
He had previously suspended them and
appointed men to their places, but they
have refused to recognize the order Of
suspension or to turn over their business
to their alleged successors. So will they
refuse to recognize the order Of removal.
These refusnls are and will be based
upon the unquestioned illegality of the
orders of Suspension and removal. The
governor has no authority under the
law to suspend or remove officials of this
class or to appoint their successors. He
has never even claimed to possess the
necessary authority for these acts, but
has gone ahead regardless OF all legal
restraints aud declared to the public
that he is the law and the interpreter of
the law and that the acts OF the IeRis-
latures of Dakota are the mere
playthings of his imperious
Will. lt is somewhat sig
niioant that immediately after having
accomplished the browning act OF usur-
patton in this case he hurried out OF the
territory and took refuge in the state of
New York, leaving to Acting Governor
cCormack the task OF enforcing his
unlawful order.
After the governor hai issued his order
of removal the Gale board OF trustees
repaired to the hospital and attempted to
take possession asd assume control OF
the institution. The superintendent,
assistant superintendent and steward
refused to permit this or to recognize
any authority in them over the affairs OF
the hospital. Being unable TO transact
any business the Gale board withdrew
from the hospital premises and returned
TO town. The probability is that the
Gale board will carry ont the original
scheme of the governor and appoint q
new set OF resident officials. II this be
done the new officials will be on the
outside and the old officials on the inside
and tho latter can be ousted only upon
order OF the court. The determination
Of the public to stand by the legal re-
presentatives OF the hospital was never
more strongly marked than under this
new phase of affairs. The high handed
proceedings OF the governor arouse shs
righteous hostility OF oil law abiding
citizens, They are willing to submit to
